Richard McMullen Dies Suddenly Death came suddenly on Monday morning of this week to Mr. Richard McMullen, well known here, at his home On the Third Line, Osprey, at the age of 62 years. Deceased had apparently been in his usual health when he went to the bam in the morn- ing to work, but shortly afterwards went to the house complaining of a pain in the region of his heart. He lay down on a couch and shortly afterwards lost c<'Hsciousness and passed away within an hour before medical aid could reach him. His death came as a great shock to his family and large circle of friends. He was a valued friend of tne editor of this paper and had been in the office On Friday renewing his subscription. The late Mr. McMullen was born on the farm now owned by Mr. Alex. McMullen, south east of Flesherton, and was a son of the late Mr. and Mi-s. David McMullen, pioneers of Artemesia township. He was un- ited in marriage about .50 years ago to Miss Mary Jane McLennan, and re- sided on the Third Line, Osprey, since that time. Besides his wife he leaves to mourn, three sons and one daugh- ter: Ina May (Mrs. Harold Shier) of Portlaw, Percy Glenn and Roy of Osprey and Veni at home. He also leaves one brother, Mr. Alex. Mc- Mullen of Flesherton and one sister Mrs. Martin Teeter, of Priceville. Thi-ee brothers, Robert, Samuel and David predeceased him. The funeral takes place on Wednes- day afternoon of this week, when ser- vice will be held at his late residence at 2 o'clock p.m. Interment will take place in Flesherton Cemetery.

The second s.is- sion of the eighteenth Parliament â€" one of the shortest on record â€" was prorogued by His Excellency, Satur- day night at nine o'clock. The legislative programme was light, yet, it took a good while for Lord Tweedsmuir to read in English and in French the various bills and amendments to existing legislation to the assembled commoners and sena- tors gathered in the Red Chamber for the formal closing. And not so very formaL Prorogation is casual as compared with the opening. It lacks anticipation; memibers are weary of speeches, having endured nine hours a day of listening, with heavy office work before and in between. They are eager to pack and be off. So, having shown respect to the Gover- nor by appearing in the Senate Chamber, they wander off in twos and threes, chatting about their plans and saying good-bye to their friends. United Church Notes Next Sunday will be a special day in the life of our church when we have the privilege erf hearing Rev. Denzil G. Ridout F. R. G.

A little over a year ago Mr. Ridout â- *" the i made an extensive trip through Africa He "Why did you promote Bill? president's secretary asked. "He has- ! visiting all our Mission fields.

In a happy mood, Mr. Bennett brought the session to a close by twitting the Liberals with low tariff talk and high tariff action, so effective were his quii>s that he di-ew^ laughter and ap- plause from the low tariff section of the Liberal Paity.

It is the court of last appeal. Not only did it decide that certain pieces of legislation were ultra vires, but "Flouted the constitution • . |>erverted not only the text but the whole in- tent of "the B. N. A. Act; tended to undermine th«j very foundation of Canadian autonomy." according to the view of Mr. Cahaii, former Secretary of State (Conservative Member from Montreal). Mr. Cahan ui^ged, in a lengthy and learned speech, that the government take up this matter, of the under- mining of Canada's autonomy by Privy Council decisions, at the Ini- l^erial Confereace and that the gov. ernment impress on the conference and the British governnifnt Canada's resentment at any infringement of her autonomou.s position. He made a sensational statement at the very e4ui of his speech to the effect that if the dei'isions of the Privy Council continue to infringe on the nation- ality of Canada "Their lordships thei-eby force upon the attention of this Parliament two vita! questions: shall Canada continue as a dominion, forming a part of the empire, under the limitalions so prescribed by the judicial committee ? Or, shall Canada assume an entirely autonomous and 'n<lependent status?" .^Ir. Cahan said further. "May I res- liectfully. yet emphatically, express the opinion that Canada is not will- ing to accept obligations, either dom- estic or international, which are ar- bit'-arily imposed . . . upon this dom- inion by the government of the Un- ited Kingdom. For Canada, the col- onial era has vanished forever.

And, later on. he express- ed the view that appeals to the Privy Council are out of date: "They are ;i survival of colonial inferiority and contrary to the essential principle of the British constitution the right and the duty of all people living un<ler it to determine their own affairs with- out hindrance or control by any ex- traneous btxiy." -Although the Minister of Justice, Hon.
